1. Make the batter:
First, in a big bowl, mix together chickpea flour, water, 1/4 cup of olive oil, salt, and baking powder.
Step 2: Mix the ingredients well until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
Step 3: Leave the batter for 30 minutes so the chickpea flour can absorb the liquid completely.
2. Heat up the oven before using it.
First, heat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2: Put a cast-iron pan or baking dish in the oven to warm up.
3. Cook the red pepper in the oven.
First, let the batter rest and, if you haven't done so yet, roast the red pepper. You can achieve this by putting the pepper under the oven's top heat or directly over a fire until the skin becomes burnt and bubbly.
Step 2: After roasting, put the pepper in a bowl and cover it with a lid or plastic wrap for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to remove the skin.
Step 3: Take off the outer layer, get rid of the seeds, and cut the pepper into thin pieces.
Make the Focaccia:
Step 1: Gently take out the hot pan or baking dish from the oven.
Step 2: Pour a little olive oil into the pan or dish to cover the bottom.
Step 3: Pour the mixture into the pan, making sure it covers the surface evenly.
Step 4: Place the roasted red pepper slices on top of the batter.
Step 5: Spread the rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired) on top.
Make the Focaccia in the oven.
Step 1: Put the pan or baking dish back in the oven.
Step 2: Put in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is a golden color and feels firm when touched.
Add decoration and present the dish.
Step 1: Take the focaccia out of the oven and allow it to cool down a bit.
Step 2: Add a little more olive oil and decorate with fresh basil leaves.
Step 3: Cut the food into squares or slices and serve it warm or at room temperature.
